This is another recipe from my grandmother, Loretta McKinney. Serves 4. This makes sausage patties, though you could crumble it in the pan for biscuits and gravy. I’ve added a few notes on the ingredients below.
1 lb. ground turkey
1/2 c. freshly made bread crumbs
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tbsp. parsley
1 tsp. thyme
1 tsp. sage (“more”, she says in the recipe, a bit cryptically. Maybe try 1 tbsp., because sage is all the rage!)
1/2 tsp. marjoram (or substitute oregano)
1/2 tsp. salt (You can also add more of this if desired, as it’s nowhere near as salty as store-bought sausage)
freshly ground pepper
2 tbsp. oil
Optional: 1 tsp. chili pepper (or more black pepper) if you want more of a kick
Combine all ingredients except the oil and pat into cakes. Fry in the oil in a large skillet for 20 minutes. Brown and crisp on both sides.
